Hi Peter (and Torsten),
I am not the owner of the wiki (altough I do understand it might look so
sometimes :p).
I do have some right (eg. deleting pages), but I have no acces to the database
nor to
the wiki configurations. For that you have to contact the owner, which is Simon
Hollier.
He reads this list as well, so I'm pretty sure he will show up ;)
Wiki styles
Our wiki supports a couple of styles, including Monobook (used by Wikipedia,
and default
included in every mediawiki package) and fratman_enhanced (default on our wiki,
it's the
one with the blue/white A-10 logo). You probably want the fratman style?
Personally I don't like that template at all (altough the logo is quite nice),
so I use the
Monobook one which is much easier in use (atleast when writing articles). But
you have
to decide for yourself, or give your users the option to choose.
Multi language
Your plan to put up a Polish wiki brought a discussion in mind that I and Simon
had a while
ago. We planned to provide the wiki in multiple languages (like you see on
wikipedia), but
the fact that our wiki is running on just one server gave some technical
problems according
to Simon. Maybey this is the time to take another look at the possibilities. I
still think a multi-
language wiki would enormously improve our user-friendliness and attract more
serious simmers
from various countries. We have enough language knowledge in our community to
write decent
articles in a couple of languages beside English: German, Dutch, Polish,
Russian, French,
Spanish/Portuguese to name a few.
Ofcourse it will take a long time to translate all of the articles into these
languages, but just
translating the most important ones (like flying the helicopter, installing
scenery) will give our
users a "hey, those people really care about their users and do their best to
help me" feeling...
The last part of my email is kinda off-topic to Peters subject, but it might be
good to see whether we
can merge multiple languaged wikis before starting new ones.
Regards,
Gijs
